Entry Point Not Found In sfml-system-2.dll

Question

The code itself compiles fine using mingw 4.8. Just the outputted file crashes with the error.

My command line:

g++ main.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

I've tried this with multiple computers and I get the same thing.

You should put the error message into the text block itself as well, instead of just having it in the title.

Also you'd be better of simply asking on the SFML forum, instead of asking on the GitHub tracker (confirmed issues only) and here.

If you use MinGW 4.8 then you need to recompile SFML yourself, since SFML doesn't provide official binaries for that compiler. You can find the information on how to build SFML and how to use SFML in the official tutorials . Read them carefully otherwise you'll miss the important points and get frustrated because it isn't working.

If nothing helps, you can also use my Nightly Builds , but these use a compiler of the family MinGW-w64 and GCC version 4.9.
